D.J. Williams Arrested On DUI Charge

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver Broncos defensive star D.J. Williams has been arrested for driving while intoxicated in Denver.

The arrest took place early Friday morning at 800 Broadway after patrol officer noticed him driving without his headlights on. Williams was released from custody Friday morning and the Denver District Attorney's office will be handling the case.

Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels said this is not the type of behavior he expects from his players.

"Certainly disappointed and do not condone that type of behavior from any of our players or anybody within our organization. We'll have additional comment once we know all the facts and all the information about it," said McDaniels.

This isn't the first time Williams has gotten in trouble behind the wheel.

In 2006 Williams pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired and served 12 months of unsupervised probation and performed 24 hours of community service. He was initially charged in September 2005 with two counts of driving under the influence and a lane-change usage violation after sheriff's deputies arrested him on the way home from a birthday party.
